Why here
Chelsea's Highball is a highball bar on a side street off Cheongdam-dong's luxury strip, built around whisky-and-soda pours that start at ₩8,000 — Suntory and Jim Beam classics alongside house builds like the Jeju cacao — and backed by full-size bar plates rather than token snacks: fish and chips, a chilli hot dog, baked blue cheese with endive. It runs late as a second-round stop, and Sung Si-kyung's Muktende covered it in 2022.
